Right now I'm working on the second part of You'll Be My King, a new Harry/Draco fic, and a Damon/Stefan fic... And of course all my real life thoughts that I turn into stories.


But really this journal is for you guys to tell me what you think about Carlisle/Edward, as long as it's pre-Bella. Lemme know if you'd read it, if you don't care, if you'd never thought of it, whatever. I just want to know... and I'd make a poll, but I'm not a paid subscription anymore. ):


<3 Me.

Okay, so maybe some of you don't care, but I think some of you might.

Today, I read my first piece of HP fanfiction in months. This drove me to essentially jump full force into H/D again... because I forgot how much I LOVE them. Seriously, LOVE. Thank dysonrules, because it was her one-shot I read (on LJ, not on here). She is one of my favourite writers and probably my favourite person in the HP fandom. She is also fun on Twitter. And I could fangirl her forever for making me remember how much I love those boys.

Lots else has happened, too. It's not all stuff I feel comfortable putting here, but feel free to ask me in a message or whatever. Mostly love life/health stuff. On both accounts, I am essentially okay. But don't hesitate to ask for details... it's just not something I want the entire world to have at its fingertips.

I'll do a real update later, but I'm really freaking hungry, so I'm going to go eat.

I love you all SO MUCH and I'm sorry that I've abandoned you as of late. I promise that I will make it up to you! <3

Keep creating your art, keep telling people you're an artist, and just keep being you. Cause I love all of you just the way you areeee. /end mush

Ps; The song I'm listening to is by Elvis COSTELLO, not Elvis... there just wasn't enough room in the little thing to write it. (:

It's been a long time. A really long time. Like, over two months. This is unacceptable.

A whole, whole lot has happened. Let's begin the update, shall we?

In fan-fiction world, I found another pairing that I am in love with. I'm not sure if I will post any of my fics on here... only because it's a RL pairing/fandom and involves incest. And, well... that might make a lot of people uncomfortable. Lemme know what you think about that.

There randomly has been a burst of love/comments/faves on my Felix Felicis fic. It was my first fic ever, and I can't believe I haven't written part 7 yet. I feel really awful about it, actually. However; I started part 7 due to all the amazing feedback I received. And I also realised that I'm not ready to lay that story down yet. I love it too much.

In the job world, I got a second job at Borders. This often leads to me working 9/10/11 hour days and then being extremely tired and not doing much of anything. Speaking of jobs, I worked an event this weekend with Days Charity Events. I missed everyone so much. The next event is in Dallas, TX, in April. I cannot even wait for it. Anyway, there were some weather/flight problems, but other than that it went really well. I stayed up til the sun rose Saturday night (well, morning) getting advice from a girl that's been through it all. We literally had an old-school slumber party in her hotel room. I forgot how much I loved her. She's seriously the most beautiful person inside and out, and she's so modest. You'd never know that she's a famous actor. And that's really endearing to me. Anyway, she's amazing and I miss her already.

In the art world:
I know I haven't posted anything in a really long time, and I'm sorry about that. I've been writing a lot, but it was all RL stuff... and at the time it wasn't anything I could post without hurting some majour feelings. I'm sure you all know what sort of writing I'm talking about. I'm starting to think I might post some of it, though, because I really love it. I seriously fell in love with writing again writing some of these pieces, and it hurts to think they may never see the light of day, because they really deserve it. Just... I don't know.

I'm changing a lot in my life, and I really like it. It's something I've needed to do for so long. So much has happened in the past few months, and I just needed to do something for myself. It would take too long to explain. I've been asked to do this majour change... but I'm not sure if I could do it. It's something I've dreamed of, to be honest. But it would require leaving a lot of people that I love and leaving something else before I get completion with it. I don't even know what I'm saying right now.

But in the next few days, I'm going to be posting a lot of writing. Some fanfiction (maybe with the new pairing? Would you read real people incest fics...?), some RL stuff. And I think a eulogy that I wrote/delivered. Just lots of stuff.

I guess that's it for now. I love you all, and I've been catching up on everything I missed. So when you get a comment from me on a really old journal/piece of art, you can laugh at my timely manner. (:

Keep creating your art, and don't let anything stop you. There's a reason I put something like this in every one of my journal entries, you know. <3

And I'm really excited about it.


That is all.

This means that I really have to get my act together, since Boston auditions are on Thursday the 28th.

I know it might sound foolish, but this is like... fate screaming at me. I had no idea what I would be doing this coming year, and where I would be or anything like that. And yeah, it's a shot in the dark, but it's a chance I have to take. So, wish me luck, I guess. (:

I love you all so much, I really, really do. Don't give up on something that means anything to you. Because you never know when something like this will happen and just scream at you to take the opportunity.

I know I haven't updated in almost a month. Oops.

I don't even have a good excuse. Yeah, I'm participating in a Fest... Yeah, the fics are due May 31st... No, I haven't started mine yet...

But I have my plot! I just haven't been inspired to write AS/S lately.

I also have a birthday fic to add to my list, for 5/29. But I think it will just be late, as I haven't posted Lem or Dani's birthday fics yet.

For those of you that are friends with my on LJ or Facebook [or real life], you've probably noticed that I've taken up on a new pairing. They're fighting with Harry and Draco to be my OTP. I think I've decided that I can have one OTP per fandom.

Speaking of Harry and Draco. My 2 year anniversary is coming up [July 30th!] from the first day I read an H/D fic. *awww* Seems like so long ago. Also, my birthday is coming up, too. [June 11th for those interested]. I've mostly asked for money and a few movies and CDs and things. I plan to purchase some Wayfarers, but off of eBay cause they go for, like, 30 bucks. I'm also buying an acoustic guitar and a teach yourself guitar book. I've wanted to learn for 6 years, and I decided I'm finally going to. My other goal is to have my license by birthday, which is definitely reachable.

So You Think You Can Dance starts tonight. I'm so freaking excited. I'm auditioning for the next season. I wanted to this year, but I backed off. I'm not going to anymore.

What elsseeee...? I have a lot of personal stuff going on right now that's sort of *eek* [and by sort of I mean really]. But for some reason, I'm not as worried about it all as I should be. Actually, I know the reason. But since you don't know the issue, if I told you the reason it would make no sense. Even though this whole paragraph doesn't make any sense. Sorry. (:

Oh! I've got to go call Border's back. They want to set up an interview with me. I'm freaking stoked. I'm not even nervous because that job was basically designed for me. Selling books, coffee, and music? Please.

As always, I love you all. Keep creating all of you art, and maybe even try something new some time. Just live one day at a time, and keep taking things as they come. You only get to do this once. (:

I submitted my SmoochFest fic, so I'll be putting that up here in the next week or so, as soon as I get the go from the lovely admins.

I JUST submitted my cousin's birthday fic, it's L/Light, so you should definitely go read it.

I'm working on three more birthday fics now, and I hope to have them all up here by the end of May. Then I have another Fest fic, and then I'll be writing the last chapter of Felix Felicis... and then the smutty epilogue.

So, 15XsecondsXtoXarsa and lemziipie, I haven't forgotten your birthdays! Promise.

I love you all. Keep creating your art, cause it's pretty freaking bad ass.

It's going to be amazing to not think about school or anything stressful besides the event. And all the money goes to a great cause. It's one of my favourite things I've ever been a part of. Seriously.

You might have noticed I just put up a new story. You should read it, I really like it. My SmoochFest fic is due in 9 days, and it will be up on here shortly after that. So that will probably be the next fic I post, unless I get one of the birthday ones out first. (: I really like all of the things I'm working on right now, so you should look forward to them.

I hope everyone is doing well. I'll update on this weekend once I get back. Wish me luck, you have no idea how intense some Soap Opera fans can be. I love you all, keep creating, because even though I remind you every time I post, you might forget just how important your art is. (: I love you all.

I don't want to give you any details right now, but if you have anything to make me smile, any fic or art or pictures or anything at all, I would greatly, greatly appreciate it.

I love you all. Keep creating art every single day, because you never know when you won't be able to any more.

I'm better, and the mono and tonsilitis are gone. I couldn't be happier.

I've been really busy lately, I'm writing for two fests, and I'm very close to finishing two birthday fics. I'm about to start another birthday fic for my Wifey/Beta [what pair do you want, by the way?]. So I've got my hands full of fics. There's going to be something for everyone, too, because one fest fic is H/D and the other is AS/S. I can't post those for a while, because they're anonymous, but they'll be up her eventually. One is Matt/Mello [for 15XsecondsXtoXarsa] and the other is L/Light [for my cousin].

What else...? There's been a lot going on in my personal life and my school life, and it's been pretty crazy, but I'm not complaining. I'm done with my last final on May 8th. Then I get to go back to The Peninsula. (: I'm actually looking forward to it. I'll be working at Fun Clowns for the Summer, of course, but I also applied to Barnes and Noble. I really want to work there.

I've got a lot coming up, this weekend my friend Emily is coming to stay with me. The weekend after that is the Days of Our Lives event that I'm working at, which is always a blast. Then I've got prom in May [a plus of having a high school boyfriend ].

I've been getting really close with people recently. Some old, some new. And it's really nice. I had a discussion last night about how things hadn't seemed 'worth it' in a while, except for a few people. You know, like nothing mattered and you just needed to get by? And we talked about how that's changing. And it feels really, really great.

This is getting long, and I'm in class so I should really go. Keep creating your amazing art that you do. And don't let one bad opinion stop you. Know you're brilliant. (: I love you all so much.

I want someone to recognize me someplace random, and to come up to me on a street somewhere and tell me that my work has inspired them.

It doesn't matter what it's inspired them to do, it could be anything. I always knew that when that happened, I would feel... infinite.

Well, it happened, and I thought I would share this moment with all of you, because it is so, so special to me. Here's how it happened.

I was sitting in my bed (which I have been since Sunday, thanks to the mono) when I decided it would be a good idea to check dA. When I looked, I saw that I had a Note and a handful of messages. Most of the messages were journals and polls, but one was a fave on Claire de Lune, the first piece of writing I ever put up here. It's a piece that's very important to me for many reasons. It wasn't a happy time when I wrote it. Anyway, along with the favourite, I got a note saying this:

"Hellosss, I've read your work, Claire de Lune. Truly inspiring. ^.^ I felt so compelled to do a piece of art on it, that I did & I'm uploading it soon! Watch out for it. >w< "

It struck me by surprise and I was so indescribable happy and honoured (not to mention drugged up on Vicodin) that I cried. And that is not something that I do often.

It may not seem like a big deal to anyone else. But it is to me, and I thought I would share it with all of you. It was just so short and simple and... I could never truly explain how much it means to me.

If anyone is interested in seeing the art, it's here:
[link]

SkyLandOcean22 is the artist. And if you haven't read the piece it's based off of, maybe this will give you the incentive. It's in my gallery.

Keep creating all of the amazing art that you do. It's moments like this that all of the hard work and blood and sweat and tears and everything else that you put into your art is so worth it.

Lastly, a quote. I don't know if I've used this before, but it's one of my personal favourites.

"Art is about love; the love you never got as a child, the love you can't give as an adult- the love you can only give your work."
(Jonathan Larson <333)

I love you all, and I hope you're all doing well.

I hope you're all doing well. This is just a quick update to tell you that I am ridiculous and somehow managed to get tonsilitis AND mono.

Yeah. Go me. Happy Spring Break! d:

So, that sort of sucks. Hopefully I'll heal quickly.

Keep creating the amazing art that you do. I need some form of entertainment, don't I? (:

I love you all. <3

Also, I was persuaded (by the 'Dyson Frowny Face of DOOM' ) to join another fest on LJ. This one is the H/D Kissy Smoochy Love Fest. Let's take this moment to laugh at my taste. It makes me giggle that I'm writing for that one and then the Dark Fest. *rolls eyes at self*

Anyway, the happy fest comes first, so that will technically be my first fest ever. I posted a prompt and I'm going to post another one later. Woo!

I also have the shell of the plot for my DarkFest fic. I clearly can't plot it out too well since I don't know anything about my assignment. But I'm going to make this idea work. *happy sigh* I love not being pressured to write happy endings. Yay, DarkFest!

But then again, the guarantee of a happy ending with SmoochFest is wonderful, too. I read through the prompt list today for that, and there were definitely some I had my eye on.

This was really just to tell you all that Hyperion is all better and that I went crazy and joined another fest. (:

Love you all!

I'm taking him to IT tomorrow so they can wipe out my hard drive. Hopefully I'll have him back in full working order by tomorrow night. I would have done it today, but we had a snow day. Go figure.

In case you have no idea what the shit I'm talking about, Hyperion is my computer. Probably should have mentioned that earlier.

In other news, I entered my first fest ever. It's on LJ, and it's the HP Next-Gen Dark Fest. I love next-gen and dark fics. So I joined. I'm excited and nervous at the same time, and I just want to get my assignment! [Hurry up, March 29th!]

In fic news, I'm solidly working on three things right now:
1) My cousin's birthday L/Light fic [her birthday was in October...]
2) 15XsecondsXtoXarsa's Matt/Mello fic [her birthday was in February, so I'm not too late on that one, yet].
3) Felix Felicis 7. I'm not sure if this will come out before the M/M fic, it depends on which I feel like writing, I suppose. But I'm working on all three, and it's nice. I want to get as much done as possible before I get my fest assignment, because fest fics pretty much eat your life [or so I've heard]. The good news is that I'll be out of school and still have almost a month to work on it, which will be dandy.

Speaking of 15XsecondsXtoXarsa and fics, I got to sneak-preview part 7 of her fic Duels. You all should be very excited to read it. (: And if you haven't yet, then you probably should. I don't rec things unless I really like them, and this chapter convinced me that I definitely really do.

Also, sorry for the sort of real-life/non-fiction things I've been posting. I know a lot of you/most of you watch me for my H/D stuff. But I wrote real life down long before I wrote fanfiction, so that will continue to be posted on here, too. So thanks for bearing with me and occasionally even reading my other stuff. You guys are pretty stellar.

I think that's all for now. I'm pretty excited for this weekend, I'm popping back to the Peninsula to see one of my best friends star in a play that my boyfriend is stage managing. I couldn't let Sturgis go if I wanted to, which is why I'm helping out backstage [and also because the people that I've heard are 'helping' are not helping at all]. Anyway, that will be a nice retreat. I really miss all those people a lot.

I really should go, though, because I need to get up in 6 hours and I'm not tired in the least bit. Keep creating all the amazing things that you do, no matter what other people tell you. I've learned that giving up is quite overrated. I love you all.

It's also reminding me [with some help from a text message] that I have a birthday fic from October to finish [LxLight]. And a February birthday, but that one's MattxMello. Everyone reading this should write/draw 15XsecondsXtoXarsa a birthday present. Okay, thanks. Maybe it will make up for the fact that mine will come in like... spring. EPIC FAIL.

Okay, back to watching live action L be sexy and make me want cake.

I planned on finishing it in the next few days, but I've got this intense illness and I don't know what's up. Hopefully most of it will be gone in the morning, and I can finish writing as planned.

It's kind of scary because I've never felt like this before. I have a nose/throat thing, which is fine, but I keep getting really dizzy and shaking violently. I'm also pretty much always freezing, even when I wear my winter jacket under blankets. It's making me nervous.

So, cross your fingers that I get better and am able to finish FF6 in the next few days. I'm actually really excited about this chapter, and I think you will really like it.

If you haven't seen it, I put a mini-fic/one-shot up a few days ago. I'm not sure if I journaled about it, so sorry if I'm repeating myself. It's H/D and is set in 6th or 7th year, it's not really specific. But it's pretty guh-worthy.

I love you all so much, and I've been really impressed with all the art you've been putting up lately. Everyone that I've been watching for the past year has shown so much improvement, which is really saying something, since you were all incalculably amazing to begin with. So, keep it up, because it's a really incredible thing that you're doing, and it could mean more than you know.

I suppose that's it; I'm going to attempt to sleep [even though it's only 7:30 here]...

UPDATE: I just got back from Health Services [the college nurse] and I have the flu and a fever. Woohoo.

So, I was cleaning out my slash binder, and I found a fanfic I had started for Lemziipie's birthday last April... that I never finished. I'm not sure if I like it, which is probably why I never finished it.

I decided to post it as a little hold over until I post Felix Felicis 6. I promise it's coming!

I love you all, and I hope everything's been good. Keep creating, you keep me sane.

I also am taking a class where I have to use power tools and I'm really afraid that I'm going to cut my hand off.

So basically, I'm going to be a lot more active on here now. I'm back at college, so I have nothing to do.

Hope everyone's been well, I might do a real update later. I love you all.

But right now I'm looking forward to a fresh start and all that stuff.

I mostly wrote this to inform you all that I'm leaving my computer tomorrow at 4:30 PM EST, and not returning to it until Saturday the 10th. So, I hope you all have a lovely 10 days.

Where am I going? DISNEY WORLD! I'm ridiculously excited, it is my favourite place in the whole world, and this is the first time that I've ever been with just my parents. I'm really looking forward to the break from everything.

Anyway, the only means of communication that I'll have is my cell phone. I'm bring a notebook so I can write on the plane, though. And it's a 3 hour flight from good old Massachusetts, so hopefully I'll get a lot done. But, if you desperately need to contact me or just want to chat, you can message me on here for my cell phone number [if you don't already have it]. But that's really the only way I'll be able to communicate with anyone.

So, I'll be checking the lovely dA right up until 4:30 tomorrow.

I hope you all have an art and love filled 10 days. I know a lot of you go back to school in a few days, so I hope that doesn't suck too badly. Know that when I return, I will most likely return with fanfiction.

Keep creating all the brilliant art that you do. Each and every one of you keeps me sane with your humour, wit, love, and creations. <333

TTFN, as Tigger would say.

I just thought of a new slash pair and it was really exciting.

Do any of you read the "Vampire Kisses" series by Ellen Schreiber?
Because I am TOTALLY a JaggerxAlexander fan as of right now.

I can't believe I didn't think of it sooner.

I don't even like the books that much, but they would be so fun to slash. *adds it to list*

Also, I am working on FF6 right now as we speak! It's going along fairly nicely, and it should be done soon. (: Hopefully by 2009 (weird, it's almost 2009).

I think that's it. I'm talking to 15XsecondsXtoXarsa right now on AIM, and it's sort of exciting. More people from here should IM me. That is all.

I hope you all had a good Christmas. Or "holiday," but I'm not really one to be politically correct. I love you all, and I will post soon! (:

I'm in the lobby of my dorm with two really awkward people that hate me, but this is the only place I get internet access.

It's up to you to save me! Send pictures, recs, funny stories, comments, anything! Like, really, it's that bad.

I love you all bunches, regardless of what you send.

And you could always IM me, too. (:

I realized it's been a while since I last updated, so I thought I'd give it a whirl.

First off, yesterday was my one year anniversary with my boyfriend. This was really exciting and really sad at the same time, because I am here in HalloweenTown and he is there on the Peninsula. So, that sort of sucked, but other than not being together, it was a really great thing. I thought you might like to have an excuse to have a good cupcake or something. I give you all permission! Haha. I don't know what I'm rambling about.

I also wrote a little Jake fic-let yesterday [don't hit me!]. It started out as a drabble, but it ended up being sort of long. It started when I was angry at my computer's internet for being a stubborn Gryffindor and not working, so I decided I would take it out by writing. [The ethernet won't work, so now I'm stuck on the wireless, which rarely works].

Anyway, I like the fic, it's cute. I've always loved Jake and Bella's relationship, even though if I had to pick a side, I'd pick Team Edward. "But I want you to know something -- when it comes to all this enemies nonsense, I'm out. I'm a neutral country. I am Switzerland." The sad part is that I quoted that by heart. But anyway, it's just a short ficlet about Jake and Bella, and it's cute and witty and they have their little banter, which is one of my favourite things about them. So, I'll probably post that later today, if you're interested. (:

I don't really have much else to say. I go back to the Peninsula soon. It will be nice to have almost a month off without having to worry about school work. But, I guess that's all for now. Keep creating and dreaming, because it keeps the world moving. Have a good day everyone, I love you all. <3

Like being in love, she said, for the first time.


I really like when people write about me, because I like to see how they perceive me. But this... Well, just go read it and give him some love. But not too much, because he's mine.

I love you all. I had to be a bit girly for a sec there. But you are all wonderful and I'm going to be posting a bunch soon. I've started some work in a bunch of new fandoms for me [well, for me to be writing in] including DeathNote [LxLight], QAF [Brian/Justin], and Blue Bloods [everyone, lol]. And, of course, a bunch of H/D is on the way.

I got a 14.

Now, this may seem like a really great grade to a lot of you. However, most of my classmates whipped together their plays in an hour tops. I worked hard on mine, making it something I was proud of. And yet, I got a 14.

I got more comments than anyone else. He wrote "A gay man with HIV marries a woman. A GAY man with HIV. The plot is unrealistic."

It is incredibly laughable to me, because it is a true story, all but the outcome [I thank God for this every single day of my life]. But the proposal, and everything else, is 100% true and accurate. I would know, right? I lived it.

One of the girls that got a 15 wrote about potato chips being oppressed. How, may I ask you, is that plot realistic?

It just irks me that I worked way harder on my play than anyone else and don't have the perfect score to show for it.

But all that really matters is I love it and I am proud of it. And thank you to everyone reading this that liked it, I really appreciate it. If you haven't read it, I would really love it if you did. It's called "2:17" and it's in my gallery.

I love you all very much and I hope your Decembers are going well so far. When I think of where I was a year ago today I can't help but laugh a little.

My boyfriend bought me a 3 month subscription. I am really, really excited. I am going to go explore it and be really giddy and then play video games all day because I'm home and I don't have as awesome video games when I'm at college.

The past few days at home have been really great. I've seen a lot of people that I've really been missing, and was even surprised by someone very important to me, which was really great. I only didn't get to see one person that I really wanted to, which was okay because we were both really busy, and he promised to come see me at Christmas break first thing, which is fine by me. I can wait a little longer. (:

I'm going on an adventure soon; during finals week[s]. Since I have an absurd amount of time off, I'm going with an old friend. It's going to be great and spontaneous and I'm really excited about it. We could end up anywhere, which I really love. He is one of the only people that will be ridiculously spontaneous ande carefree with me. So we are going to take advantage of that and spend time together, [almost] just like we used to, with one majour difference [he's also an ex-boyfriend, I've written about him in here before]. Anyway, it was really exciting that he surprised me, he joined us at breakfast this morning which was really great, too.

I stayed over Elisabeth's, which was amazing, of course. It'd been far too long, even though as soon as I got there it felt like no time had passed at all. We just existed, then two of our other friends got there, and we watched the SATC movie. It was a really good time.

So, more later. I want to explore my subscription and then play some sweet video games. I'll talk to you all later, and I hope your Thanksgivings [for my fellow Americans] were lovely, just like all of you.

Keep creating, and have a good rest of the weekend. I love you all dearly. <3

I'm going to post a review of the Twilight movie later tonight.
Or in a few days.

If I don't talk to you before then [I said this last entry, didn't I?] have a great Thanksgiving. And again, I am thankful for each and every one of you and the art you create. <33333

So, I don't really have much to update, just felt like I should.

Part 5 is up and I've been getting some great feedback on it. I'm hoping to work on Part 6 today and get a lot of it done over Thanksgiving break.

I bought my parents an amazing gift for Christmas. One of my friends on livejournal is doing commissions and selling her art so that her daughter can go to a really prestigious series of dance auditions in New York. I've seen videos of her dancing, and she's incredibly talented, from one dancer to another. Anyway, they're almost at their goal, so if anyone is interested, I'll give you the information. She's not taking any more time-sensitive commissions, but her other art is up for sale [since she just has to ship it], and she will still do commissions, just not if you need them by Christmas [most likely, there are acceptions]. So, let me know if you're interested and I'll pass the information on. I don't usually pimp out a lot of things, so you know it's important when I do.

I'm ridiculously excited for Thanksgiving Break. I get to see so many people that I haven't seen in far too long. I can't tell you how strange it is to not walk in to Sturgis every day with Elisabeth. I miss her so much, more than anyone, except her, could ever understand.


Anyway, I'm in a really grateful mood, mostly because of the whole Art for Dance thing. I know what those dreams feel like, and the fact that she has her Mom's support is incredible. And I'm just excited to spend some time with my family. I had a really rough night last night, and it really hit me how much I miss certain people in my life. <3

I think that's it for now. In case I don't update again beforehand, have an amazing Thanksgiving. I love you all, and I really am thankful for all of you and the art that you create.

I'm writing Part 5 RIGHT NOW.

This is very exciting. I'm listening to my H/D playlist and just writing it. And I thought you'd all like to know. I wrote a good chunk of it last night when I went to the library with my roommate so she could work on a paper. My Muse is back! Woohooooo!!!!

Lots of Love and please keep creating.

Anyone want to illustrate for me? *wiggles eyebrows*

I'm ridiculously excited right now.

"Honey, you're not making any now. What happened?"
"All of this time, I thought I was proving myself and making a difference, but it turns out I'm just one big blonde joke and that's all anyone's ever gonna see."

I'm begininng to realize that being over qualified means nothing anymore. And I'm thinking about switching my majour.

The only thing keeping me going is seeing my soulmate & everyone else in 9 days. I need this break and I need things to be like they used to, if only for one week.

Keep creating amazing art, because you and I both know that it's a beautiful thing:

"No matter how shitty things get, I always have art. It's the one place I can go I'll always be safe."
^Justin from QAF. A quote that I absolutely agree with, 100%.

Oh. If any of you are interested in theatre and/or have a passion for the GLBT community, you should read the 10 minute play I put up, "2:17." It's based on a true story, and the only majour difference is the last scene/the outcome; something I thank God for every single day of my life.

I love you all so much. Keep creating like your life depends on it.

And pretty freaking cool to see the man I voted for win.

I don't like to discuss politics, but it is FINE for you to disagree with me on this. Please just don't post any bashing comments, because I will report you.

Anyway, here's the other thing. From everthing I've heard Prop 8 didn't pass, but it was ridiculously close. I didn't vote on Prop 8, because I live in Massachusetts. It breaks my heart that it didn't pass. Look, I'm a Christian. I fully believe in all of that, and look at me. I'm not what you think of when you think "Christian." I know what the Bible says about marriage, I really do. But did you ever stop to think that maybe, when it was written, that's the only way people would have married?

I don't know. It really breaks my heart though. Imagine being in love and wanting the formality of a marriage [because that's really all it is. NOT ALL marriages take place in a church, you know], but not being able to have it because the person you love is the same gender as you.

Anyway, I don't want to put a negative vibe on this whole day. I am elated that Obama was elected. Absolutely elated. So, it's noon here and I've got two classes this afternoon. I've been writing a lot, but mostly this play that I have to write for my theatre class. I'll probably put it up here, but by scene, because it's pretty long. It's a hard thing for me to write about, because it's all true, every last word of it. And, of course, in the light of Prop 8 and my male best friend in Scotland, I am missing him more every second. So writing this play about us and the one awful night where I was probably more scared than I ever have been is really hard to do. But it's turning out amazing, and I'm proud of it.

And, whenever the play gets too much for me to handle, I turn to slash. I'm cranking out 3 birthday fics [I'm not late, just prolonging the celebration], a congratulations fic, and a fuckload of others. But now, I'm off to make tea, because I am dying with an awful cold. Make me feel better? <3

And, as always, keep creating. You'll never know how much light your art brings into the world if you don't.

Shit you guys, I'm in college! So much has been going on that it's just ridiculous to update. I will try to more, though. I've put up a lot of new things over the past few weeks, so you should check them out if you haven't already. I know that I still haven't put up FF5, and I feel pretty shitty about it. It's open right now, and for some reason I'm having a terrible time with it. My Muse is simply on vacation.

However...
I am working on two birthday fics. One for the lovely aurora_dawn101 who's birthday was September 29th. And no, I'm not late, I'm just prolonging the celebration! The other is for one of my friends on LiveJournal, but I will post it here too, of course. They are both H/D and both wonderful, if I do say so myself. I like to think that they are both one-shots, but we all know I have to continue all of my fics.

I've gotten a lot of requests for more Twilight fics on ff.net. I just got around to posting everything on there [all that was up was FF1]... so everyone went in a frenzy and it was really exciting for me.

The other exciting news is that I've declared my minor officially [Creative Writing for all of you that didn't know]. My English professor is also helping me get published [he's published]. As some of you know and some of you don't, I was in the works to be published before, and everything about it was all wrong. Hopefully this time, something magical will happen.

On another fic note, I've started writing in the DeathNote fandom. *goes crazy* I don't know if any of you are familiar with it, but those of you that are and that know me at all can probably guess who I ship. [LxLight for the win]. Anyway, those fics are kicking my ass because of all the ridiculous plotholes and lines and holy fuck. Hopefully those will be up soon.

And even though I am in way over my head in fics and other pieces of writing, GIVE ME REQUESTS. I'm working on an H/D piece with my boyfriend, but I need to work on a bunch of things at once if I want to get anything done. And with so many of my fics being done within the next few days or so... I NEED SUGGESTIONS!!!! Lol. Keep me busy, my darlings.

In other news, I found a CANON couple that I SHIP. I can't believe I EVER forgot about them, seriously. But anyway, I was randomly wasting time on facebook [friend me on there!] when my roommate [who was apparently on youtube] asked me what QAF stood for. I almost peed myself with excitement because I've been so preoccupied these past few months that I'd FORGOTTEN about Queer as Folk!!!!!!!! Anyway, of course my ship set sail again for Brian and Justin. How could it not? So I have some CANON fics in the works. I might just have to write some Mikey/Brian, too, though... Anyway, my roommate is completely addicted, and we watched the entire first season in 3 days. *shifty eyes* We do go to class, you know.

Upcoming Exciting Things!
~"Revelations" by Melissa de la Cruz comes out the 28th. The first 4 chapters are so squee-worthy and I am just fidgeting all over the place waiting for it to be in my grabby hands.
~The "Twilight" Movie comes out exactly a month from yesterday. CAN WE SQUEAL OVER THE NEW TRAILER PLEASE?! Despite all my mixed feelings about this movie, Robert Pattinson has got me convinced he's Edward. My favourite thing about the trailer: Bella dropping the apple and Edward catching it. It depressed me how many people did not notice that he held it like the book cover. Come on people!!! My least favourite thing? They changed my favourite line. Right before they kiss for the first time. That is just not okay with me. But I'm sure Robert will make up for it, especially since I forgot all about it when the kissing actually started [*drool*].
~Okay, not an exciting thing, but how many people saw that the Twilight book has a new cover? They put one of the movie posters on the book. Can we just yell NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! together?
~"HSM3: Senior Year" is out on FRIDAY. I don't know about you guys, but I'm really excited about it. Maybe it's just... ]]> ~MatterOverMind http://MatterOverMind.deviantart.com/journal/20243187/ http://MatterOverMind.deviantart.com/journal/20243187/ Sat, 30 Aug 2008 21:05:21 PDT
There are so many emotions going through me right now, it's incredibly strange.

This is also why Felix Felicis hasn't been updated yet. I was on holiday/without a computer for a week, and I just got it back a few days ago. Stupid college! But in all seriousness, thank you for being patient. I still am promising that epilogue. (: It's going to be great, I swear. Just hang in there a little longer.

I should probably go to sleep since I have to get up in 6 hours. This is crazy.

I know you're probably all wondering why I fell off the face of the planet. I'm actually still here.

Recently I've been really busy with college stuff and some personal emotional stuff. This is, indeed, why chapter 5 isn't out yet. It's in the works, and a first draft is completed. I'll probably draft it one more time, then send it off to my beautiful Beta, Britpick, and Wifey Lemzii.

Since it has been way too long since I updated this story, I have a very satisfying epilogue planned. [Remember those chocolate frogs in the Gryffindor Common Room? ]

I'll be posting some other things in the next couple of days. They aren't H/D, but I like to think that the writing is still good.

So, don't come chasing me with your torches blazing just yet.

I love you all, thank you for being so patient with me. Give me a week, tops. Keep creating all the beautiful art that you do, because it's truly amazing.

Right now, I am on the desperate search for a Beta for Felix Felicis. If you don't know what a Beta is, it's basically just someone that proofreads to catch grammar/spelling mistakes, and to point out awkwardly phrased sentences and whatnot.

This person would also get to read each part before it's posted. Also, there are only 3 parts left [including part 5]. So, it really wouldn't be that much work. Although, if you're interested in being my Beta for more than just FF, please let me know. I would really appreciate the second set of eyes.

Also, it would be even greater if there was someone out there to be my BritPick. This person could also be my Beta, but I feel like I mess up a lot of British expressions and things a lot. So if you wanted to help me with that, that would be grand.

Just leave me a comment on here, if you'd like.

I love you all.

No thank you.


Anyway. Nothing really exciting here. I went clothes shopping for school today, and I bought adorable shoes and lots of underwear, yay! I also got a wireless mouse which pretty much makes my life. I'm still working on Part 5 because there are so many components to it, it's a really pivotal chapter. I don't really have much to update, though. Woo.

Thank you all for just being you. You all make me smile with your art and otehrwise.

I forgot to inform you all that part 5 will be out in a few days. Breaking Dawn just came out, and if I hadn't had to work all day yesterday I would have finished it. But I did have to work.

Anyway, I just wanted to apologize that it's not up already. If you're a Twilight fan, you understand.

Keep doing what you do, it's beautiful.

Today is my one year anniversary of shipping Harry and Draco! Yay! You should all make me things to celebrate.

It is also sort of sad, because I just realized, and it's 9:40 PM. I wasted a lot of the day not knowing.
I really just wanted to tell everyone that, because it's very exciting.

I love you all.
Also, I am really excited for my first ever illustrations/commissions! RositaWolf, my Wifey, and 15xsecondsxtoxarsa are both drawing something to go along with Felix Felicis [and stand on its own, of course]. Anyway, it's, like, really, really exciting!

Keep creating. It's what you do. <3

It's pretty eerie, I love Orphanage!TomRiddle.

I am sad that there was no Draco in the trailer, though. ):

Watch! It just came out online at 9:15 PM here.

Rules of the game:
- Choose a singer/band/group
- Answer using only names of songs from the singer/band/game
- Tag 6 people

I choose: The Jonas Brothers. Because I can, and because I want to lick Joe Jonas' hipbones.

1. Are you male or female?
"Hello Beautiful."
[Pretend that makes sense...?]

2. How do describe yourself?
"I Am What I Am."
["I am what I am,
I can't help myself-
And if you don't like it,
Get with somebody else.
I'll never change my ways ,
It's not a phase;
This is how it is and this is how it's gonna stay.
Because I am what I am, I know what I'm not."]

3. What do people feel when they're around you?
"Inseparable."
["You know when the sun forgets to shine,
I’ll be there to hold you through the night.
We’ll be running so fast we could fly, tonight.
Even when we're miles and miles apart,
You’re still holding all of my heart.
I promise it will never be dark;
I know were inseparable."
^Me + Elisabeth.]

4. How would you describe any past relationships?
"Tonight."
[No, we're not gonna work this out tonight.
No, we're not gonna make this right.
So, I'll give a kiss and say goodbye.
Cause we're not gonna work this out tonight.

We don't have to fight tonight,
We just gotta try.
Wanna work this out-
I don't wanna shout,
I don't wanna cry tonight.
We just gotta try tonight.]

5. How would you describe your current relationship?"
"Gotta Find You."
["You're the voice I hear inside my head,
The reason that I'm singing.
I need to find you, I gotta find you.
You're the missing piece I need,
The song inside of me.
I need to find you, I gotta find you."]

6. Where would you want to be right now?
"Australia."

7. How do you feel about love?
"Hold On."
["We don’t have time left to regret; hold on.
It will take more than common sense; hold on.
So stop your wondering- take a stand; hold on.
Cause there’s more to life than just to live; hold on.

Cause an empty room can be so loud,
It’s too many tears to drown them out.
So hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.
When you love someone and they break your heart,
Don't give up on love; have faith, restart.
Just hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on."]

8. What is your life like?
"Play My Music."
["Turn on that radio as loud as it can go-
Wanna dance until my feet can't feel the ground.
Say goodbye to all my fears, one good song- they disappear;
And nothing in the world can bring me down.

Hand clapping, hip shaking,
Heartbreaking; there's no faking
What you feel when you're riding home...

So forget that fancy car,
I don't need to go that far.
What's driving me is following my dreams."]

9. What would you ask if you only had one wish?
"Underdog."
["She's original, never trying to fit in.
She's got a way to always go against the grain.
Someday they'll see how beautiful she really is ;
I know that last will be the first,
The tables gonna turn cause...

Everyone sees her, but nobody knows her.
She screams in her pillow for a better tomorrow.
She hates it, but she fakes it;
Watch out for that girl-
One day she may change the world.

Maybe she'll be in a movie,
Maybe she'll be in a song-
Better pay her some attention
Before she's gone."
^My life.]

10. Say something wise.
"That's Just the Way We Roll."
["Where would we be if we couldn't dream?

I know we get a little crazy;
I know we get a little loud.
I know we're never gonna fake it-
We are wild, we are free.
We are more than you think.
So call us freaks,
But that's just the way we roll.

Cause we're old enough to know
We're never letting go-
That's just the way we roll."]

Regardless, I'm still writing chapter 4. I'm stopping to find food right now, but then I'm not stopping til it's posted! *triumphant music*

I love you all.

~Tx.

Ps;; 3 days til my one-year Shipping D/H anniversary.

And also, I am officially on my laptop.

]]> ~MatterOverMind http://MatterOverMind.deviantart.com/journal/19597506/ http://MatterOverMind.deviantart.com/journal/19597506/ Fri, 25 Jul 2008 20:44:56 PDT

I feel very guilty about it, but I finished cleaning my room instead. This means that I will have my laptop and the number of fanfics I post will increase exponentially! Yay! So, really, I was doing you all a favour...?

Anyway, I'll hopefully post it tomorrow night, and if not, definitely Sunday. I also promise that it will be completely worth the wait. There's some sweet action on the Quidditch Pitch; but with a twist. Anyway, I'm sure you'll like it.

I also have a one shot [which will probably turn into much more, eventually] that I am writing in honour of my 1 year anniversary of shipping Draco and Harry. The date exactly is July 30th, I wrote it down at the time, haha.

The fic that got me hooked was "Irresistable Poison" by Rhysenn [ [link] ]. It's chaptered, but if you haven't read it you should. It's the perfect mix of angst, fluff, smut, and humour. And at first I thought it was cliche [love potion, and all], but the use of the potion is unique and incredibly satisfying. So, check it out. You gotta figure, if it's enough to get me this obsessed, it's gotta be good.

Again, I'm so sorry I didn't post chapter 4 today like I promised. <3

Keep creating all the beautiful things that you do. It's such an unbelievable gift to be able to create something that literally makes jaws drop. I love you all.

Part 3:

Can I just tell you all how excited I am?!
This is the best feedback I've gotten in a long time. I'm so glad that you all love the story so much. 99 hits in 2 and a half days is pretty ridiculous for me, and it's so exciting. I have so much more coming with this story and I'm so glad that you all like it so much. It's sort of making me squee and flail around a bit. (:

Basically this entry is just to say "thanks for the support!" And "pass on the story." I love you all a lot. I'm off to work on part 4.

And, as always, keep creating the amazing art that you all do. Because it's truly a gift, and not one that you should let go to waste.

Firstly, I've been getting a lot of positive feedback on Felix Felicis part 2. This makes me incredibly happy. I'm working on part 3, and I'd say it'll be up by Friday the latest. All this feedback is definitely pushing me to write more. And to everyone that has recently started watching me, thank you so much!

I went to a show a few nights ago, and I had wicked amazing seats, 3rd row center-ish. There were 3 bands;; The Kung Fu Girls, Mae, and the Plain White Ts. The Kung Fu Girls were okay, but the audience was kind of rude and talkative during their performance because they were the first opening band and no one had any idea who they were. But they were good, and their bassist was FINE. He just so happened to be playing in front of me the entire time. His pants were also very tight, and pretty low-slung. This made me think of Lemzii, on the count of I could see his hipbones. I tried to take a picture, but it failed miserably. ^.^ Mae was AMAZING. I'm pretty obsessed with them, and they put on a great show. I met 3 of the members afterwards and they signed my shirt. They were all really nice and really grateful. Not to mention sexy as... something incredibly sexy. Then were the Plain White Ts, and they were really great. I wasn't expecting much, but I was on my feet the whole time. They put on a really great show, it had such high energy. And the hawt guitarist was right in front of me. I swear, I had the best seat in the whole house. Ps;; he gave me a guitar pick. *drools* He didn't even throw it to me, he bent down and handed it to me. *pants*

I'm too lazy to go into the show in more detail than that, if you want to know something, just ask me. The next day I went to PTown for my best friend Elisabeth's 18th birthday. It was stellar. We wandered around in the morning, then had the most amazing lunch ever. Then she got a wicked sweet piercing which looks amazing. It's in her right ear, I think it's called the conch piercing [if I remember correctly]. And while we were waiting for her to get her piercing we saw the most BEAUTIFUL man. Oh, hell. I literally blushed when I saw him and my jaw dropped. He had white-blond hair [which is the first thing I noticed. Oops, I love Draco Malfoy way too much], and lots of piercings. He was really pale and had beautiful eyes. Anyway, I'm fairly certain he likes men. Ps; I'll never see him again so it doesn't matter. I just thought I'd share.

The next day my other best friend Blake came over and we sat in my basement all day. We watched Cinderella, then Harry Potter 3-5. We talked a lot, which was so, so nice. Even though we barely did anything, we talked about so many things and it was just so nice to be able to do that. I can't really explain it very well unless you know us and our relationship and how odd it is that we are even friends. Then she stayed over and we took ridonkulous pictures.

I don't know what else I have to update on. I am working on SO many stories right now. But I would really, really, really love some requests. You know what Fandoms I like, and if you're not sure if I like one, just ask me. You can tell me a pair and give me a few prompts, if you'd like. I just really want requests. From anyone! (: If you have AIM, IM me. I think my sn is on my profile, but if it isn't: SensitiveAsthete is the one that I'm on the most.

As always, keep creating all the amazing art that you do. It really is incredible and it's such a talent. So never let it go to waste. (: I love you all very much.

~Tx.

Ps; Happy 18th Birthday to the ever- amazing Sarah! [Boceto]. I will be writing her something for her birthday. In fact, I've already started it, I'm just a slow writer for pairs that I don't quite like. (:

Chapter 2 of Felix Felicis is posted. I reccomend that you all read Chapter 1 to refresh your memories, then proceed on to Chapter 2. I like this chapter, and 3 in on the way.

Though I lost part of it... ): So I will have to rewrite a bit. But the wait will be much shorter this time.

Anyway, I'm really just excited to be writing again. So, check it out and let others know about it if you like it. Thanks so much. (:

As always, keep creating all the beautiful art that you do in every which way. It inspires me daily, as do each and every one of you. <3

1. What is your deviant-art name and what does it mean?
It's MatterOverMind. It's a play on words from the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer. The quote can be found in Twilight, when Edward is over Bella's house for the first time. He's running his nose along her neck and she asks how he handles smelling her blood and he says "Mind over matter." So, that's where it originated. I liked it backwards better, because, to me, it's mroe reckless that way. Wow, that was a long explanation.

2. Why did you join this site?
I can't remember why I did, now, it feels like it was so long ago. I think it was because I just liked looking at all the art here. Because it was before I discovered the magic of fanfiction.

I wasn't yet. Well, Twilight stuff [Edward/Bella]. I didn't ship Harry and Draco until about 3 months after I joined.

9. How many pets do you own?
4. 2 cats and 2 dogs.

10. Who is your most played character?
My own characters or any characters? Well, for my own characters it's Scarlet and Spencer, but none of my stuff with them is on here. Other than that, I have a Draco rp and a Bella one.

11. What do you prefer, white or black?
It depends on what for. But usually Black.

12. Name 3 aspects of your personality?
Imaginative, Caffeine-Addicted, Dreamer.

This is pretty much just a mini-update, because I have things to do. ):

Ummm, let's see.

My 18th birthday is on the 11th. That's in 4 days. I am so pumped. I cannot wait to go on here and share all the H/D love with you kiddies.

And also some other things that I've written that are definitely mature content. I found something I wrote the other day, but I do not remember writing it at all, and there's no date on it. And I'm like... "when the hell did I write this?" It's decent, though. Just odd. And dirty. Lol.

Anyways, I'm going to go put my head in the Witness Protection Program [aka;; dye my hair].

^Speaking of, who liked the SATC movie and who didn't?
I want your feedback!

I also have lots of requests I'm working on [sorry for my polluted stream of consciousness at the moment]. And the bulk of those should be done by mid to late June. Yay!

The play that I was in recently ended. And I wrote a story about it [sort of] the other day. It's sort of weird, because it's a true story, and it's just...odd. You'll understand what I mean when you read it. (:

I also batted for Team Jacob for a night and wrote a story that I'm really starting to like. It's sort of intertwined in my own life, and those of you that know me well will understand. It could be looked at as just a piece of FanFiction, but it's so much more. Especially since I am a Team Edward fan all the way.

Speaking of. My friend recently posted some journals on LiveJournal talking about Twilight, and one of the things she said I totally agree with [and probably more, but I'm not looking at the entry, obviously]. A lot of Team Edward fans are like "Edward is so dreamy, and he's so perfect and flawless." Newsflash Bitties: Edward is NOT perfect. He is the exact opposite; he's a very flawed and tragic character. That is why I love him so much. Sheesh.

Anyways, time to go dye my hair. "Purple-heads shall not be denied." [Gotta love Gilmore Girls].

Keep making all the beautiful art that you all make, and keep following everything you want to do in life. I'll talk to you all tomorrow, when I am officially a Sturgis Graduate and Alumna.

I am really, really tempted to get a tattoo.
Here's the funny part about that.
I am TERRIFIED of needles. They are litterally my biggest fear, along with IVs. ["Afraid of a needle... A sadistic vampire intent on torturing her to death, no she runs out to meet him. An IV on the other hand..."] Lol. (:

But, here is what I would get. It was sort of inspired by Cheryl's old background on LJ, which was D/H fanart. I don't know who by, though. Anyway, Draco was shirtless, and he had a snake tattoo sort of on his hip.

That's what I want. I want a really bad ass snake starting a little above my hipbone with its tongue sticking out, then have it curl along my hipbone and onto my thigh. It would be bomb. And it would also be green and black.

SPEAKING OF HIPBONES.
Lemzii: So, So random, but if you read this;;
You know how you did that survey that was like "what are your favourite parts of the opposite sex" and you put HIPBONES and then I did too, and then we squealed about it? I would just like to inform you that my boyfriend has the best hipbones in the world, and that he lets me play with them. I thought you would appreciate that. (:

Anyways, I should probably be doing things rather than daydreaming about my tattoo. I'll talk to you all later, keep creating the brilliant things that you do. Especially RositaWolf, who drew an amazing picture of Hayley [from Paramore], which you should all look at because I'm in love with it.

And also, my 18th is June 11th. You should all create me something beautiful. (:

I love you all dearly.
~Tx.

Ps;; YouTube search Feltbeats and watch Tom Felton's new video.
He is never sexier than when he is singing and playing guitar.
Except probably when he's having sex.

The End for real this time.

It is quite possibly the hardest part I've had to play.
And probably also the most fun.

I've been watching videos of people acting drunk, and reading books [Uta Hagen, anyone?]. It's so hard. Especially since I got character inspiration from Karen Walker on Will & Grace. Which is perfect. That's basically my character, and it's so great.

I just finished putting together my costume, which is geniously perfect. The funny part is that I also wore it when I was Mary Hatch-Bailey in "It's a Wonderful Life." But only for like, 5 seconds, and it wasn't very visible at the time. Anyways... I'm wearing this black silk shirt which is low cut and hawt. (: Then I have a skirt that is also black and goes up to my waist, with a black shiny belt over it to sort of make the two pieces look like a dress. My hair is up in a bun with my bangs down. I wear lots of shiny jewelry. The one really sad thing about this is that I have to take off the necklace Dylan gave me, which I haven't done since he put it on me. But I would have had to take it off for the dance recital anyway. D: Yes, I'm that attached. anyway, my make-up is pretty intense and I wear really dark red lipstick. My shoes are the hottest thing ever, you don't even know. They're deep red and shiny. They're really high stilettos and have an ankle strap with a buckle. They're also a smidge too big, so it'll help when I have to not be able to walk so well. (: I also decided that on the nights of the show I'm going to dab some whiskey onto my neck to make me smell like alchohol. It'll help, lol.

In case you care about my costume, lol...

Anyway. Everyone that lives near me should come see the show. It's June 2nd and 3rd at the Cotuit Center for the Arts. Time is TBA, but everyone should still go. It's going to be a blasty blast.

Time to go take off my costume. Keep creating the amazing art that you all do, and remember that, no matter what, you are all talented in some way. I love you all. <3

I need to be the rabid fangirl that I am and talk about the TWILIGHT TEASER TRAILER.

So amazing, so perfect.
Full screen link here: [link]

Seriously....<3

I was literally squealing and flailing so much that I had to watch it again to understand it. Of course, I watched it approximately 9328474767 times after that, anyway...

My Mum came upstairs because she thought I was being attacked or something.

Rob's contacts are so perfect.
And I'm just in total GAH shock.
*rabid fangirl*

-Stephen Edgar.

They have their stratagems too, though they can't move.
They know their parts.
Like invalids long reconciled
To stillness, they do their work through others.
They have turned the world
To their own account by the twisting of hearts.

What do they have to say and how do they say it?
In the library
At night, or the sun room with its one
Curled thriller by the window, something
Is going on,
You may suspect, that you dont know of. Yet they

Need you. The time comes when you pick one up,
You who scoff
At determinism, the selfish gene.
Why this one? Look, already the blurb
Is drawing in
Some further text. The second paragraph

Calls for an tlas or a gazetteer;
That poem, spare
As a dead leaf's skeleton, coaxes
Your lexicon. Through you they speak
As through the sexes
A script is passed that lovers never hear.

They have you. In the end they have written you,
By the intrusion
Of their account of the world, so when
You come to think, to tell, to do,
You're caught between
Quotation marks, your heart's beat an allusion.




Thought I'd share that with you. I really love it, especially the last stanza. The formation perplexes me, though. But I still love it. (:

It is raining like crazy. I have nothing else to write, at the moment.

Keep loving with your whole hearts and putting all that passion into your art. I love you all. <3

~Tx.

Here's a quote:
"Art is about love; the love you never got as a child, the love you can't give as an adult- the love you can only give your work."
-Jonathan Larson [most famous for creating "Rent"].

"Give up sitting dutifully at your desk. Leave
your house or apartment. Go out into the world.

It's all right to carry a notebook but a cheap
one is best, with pages the color of weak tea
and on the front a kitten or a space ship.

Avoid any enclosed space where more than
three people are wearing turtlenecks. Beware
any snow-covered chalet with deer tracks
across the muffled tennis courts.

Not surprisingly, libraries are a good place to write.
And the perfect place in a library is near an aisle
where a child a year or two old is playing as his
mother browses the ranks of the dead.

Often he will pull books from the bottom shelf.
The title, the author's name, the brooding photo
on the flap mean nothing. Red book on black, gray
book on brown, he builds a tower. And the higher
it gets, the wider he grins.

You who asked for advice, listen: When the tower
falls, be like that child. Laugh so loud everybody
in the world frowns and says, "Shhhh."

Then start again."



That's a poem that we read in English class a few days ago when we needed a break from the IB business. I decided to share it with all of you because I like the message that resonates [with me, anyway] and I thought all of you would appreciate it. It's humourous and true.

As I write, I'm sitting in the school library. I am thinking of plotlines for various short stories I want to write, and outlining them in my head. I am also awaiting the days until I turn 18 [June 11th, everybody!] I am also working on something special for RositaWolf's birthday, which is coming up. [It's a good thing I read her journal, because I wouldn't have knowm. ] Anyway, it won't be up here for a while, because I'm just going to send it to her [if I ever finish it in time!]

I finished up most of my finals for school last week, and April vacation is coming up the start of next week. I cannot even wait, I'm so beyond excited and I really need the break. This is really, really rambly. I haven't updated for quite a while, and a lot of really intense [some good, some terrible] things have been happening in my life. Every day is an experience, and I'm trying not to forget that.

One thing I am particularly excited to share with you all is an event happening on May 4th. About 6 years ago we had a child-run church service at my church. I wrote and delivered a sermon, and I was 11 years old. We're doing another one, on May 4th, and I was asked to preach again. So, I need to write that. It's on a Gospel from John, and I'm really excited about it. If you live near me, you should come check it out.

I also just got my math final, which was particularly exciting because I got a 90% on it. It was an IB 6, and I was ONE point away from earning a 7, which is the highest you can earn. I'm really proud of myself, so I thought I'd share. 8] I also managed to bring up my failing French grade [a 30 % twice in a row] to a 76%. Hooray for me. 8]

This is a really long entry, so I should probably just go. I'm leaving the school in 13 minutes. My Mum and I are going prom shoe shopping, I'm really excited. I bought my dress last Monday. And only a few people know what it look like [sorry, Dylan]. But it's pretty. Anyways, bye everyone! I'll probably update again later, I have another poem that I want to share.

As always, keep creating the brilliant art that you do. Take pleasure in the simple things and know that they are all there for you. I love you guys!

I have quite a bit of news for you all, it seems like it’s been a while since I’ve updated.

To start off, I’ve heard back from a few colleges. I was accepted into Emmanuel, which is my second choice. I was declined from Emerson [my first choice D:] and Drew told me that I could reserve my spot on their wait list. I just burned the letter, because I thought it was silly that I had to “reserve my spot on [their] waitlist.” I didn’t really want to go there, so I just burned the letter. 8] I’m still waiting to hear back from Salem State and Adelphi. Salem is my safety school, and Adelphi is one of my top choices. I have an audition there coming up, though, so I think that they may wait until after that to tell me if I’ve made it in. Or, perhaps not, since that is for admittance into certain programs.

In other amazing news…my brother is engaged! He proposed to his girlfriend a few days ago, and he just told me about it. *shakes head at him* I’m really, really, excited because they are perfect for each other. It’s nice to see that there are still some people that have a real kind of love left. 8]

Speaking of love, it was recently [well, sort of] my boyfriend and I’s 3 month anniversary. It’s sort of nice to think of, since I never, ever thought we’d date in the first place. He’s pretty much amazing, but I won’t talk about that too much, because I’m getting mushy and he’ll probably end up reading this.

I also do this thing called DI [Destination Imagination]. I don’t know if any of you reading this know what that is, but my team made it to States! It’s really exciting, since it’s my last year. We went to States last year as well, but it was only by default because we were the only ones competing in our category. But, this year, we actually made it because we were good and beat out 3 other teams. Yay!

Well, I’m in school, and I only have, like, 5 minutes left of class. I just wanted to update you all on the lovely happenings of my life. I’ll probably write more later.

As always, keep creating the beautiful, amazing, incalculably incredible art that you all create. I love you all, keep smiling. <3

Ps;; How random were those Mudkips yesterday? Happy April Fool’s day, I guess.
And Happy Birthday to my favourite twins, Gred and Forge [yesterday]. Too bad there was only one twin to celebrate. D: *bawls*
